Fodor's Expert Review La Casa Grande

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

In the center of town, just a few steps from the famous Nuñez de Prado olive-oil mill, this is the top hotel in Baena, offering an excellent value for money. Public rooms are sumptuous to an almost over-the-top degree—antiques, chandeliers, suits of armor, old-fashioned paintings—and rooms are only slightly more muted. If you like modern minimalism, this hotel is probably not for you. The reception hall has elegant high ceilings, the restaurant is a good reason to stop in for a meal, and the professional and friendly staff are always helpful.
